AWS is excited to announce the immediate availability of the US West (Oregon) Region, AWS’s newest infrastructure location in the United States.

Starting today, customers can access the Oregon Region, a new, lower priced Region for the US West. Oregon joins Northern California as AWS’s second US West location and provides businesses a new, low-cost, low latency option for serving customers and applications benefiting from infrastructure located in the Western United States. Businesses can now choose to locate their AWS resources in the Oregon Region, which like other AWS Regions contains multiple redundant Availability Zones for architecting highly available applications.

AWS now operates seven Regions worldwide serving customers in over 190 countries. US West (Oregon) is the seventh AWS infrastructure Region, joining US East (N. Virginia), EU West (Dublin), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Singapore), GovCloud (US), and the existing US West (N. California) Region.
